Along with the HIMARS fire systems, Estonia is also buying long-range ATACMS missiles from the US. They will be handed over in 2025.

This is reported by the Estonian media ERR.

Last December, Estonia signed an agreement with the United States on the purchase of HIMARS launchers, missiles and other necessary equipment. The director of the countryʼs defense investment center, Magnus Saar, said the deal includes the supply of long-range ATACMS missiles.

According to The Washington Post, the US military will begin phasing out these missiles this year. However, Lockheed Martin continues to produce 500 units per year for sale. Probably, instead of ATACMS, the Americans will use a high-precision PSR strike missile with a range of 500 kilometers, writes ERR.
